In response to the needs and demands of an aging population, demand for geriatric medicines has grown rapidly in last few decades. The elderly patients across the globe face an array of ill health conditions which include co-morbid complexities such as falls, cerebral ageing, and syncope among others. According to the Eurostat the number of people aged 65 tears and above is likely to be 141 million by 2050 globally which is approximately 17%-30% increase in specific population group as compared to 2008 geriatric population. An article published by the Indian Express in June 2014 stated that people aged 60 years and above are likely to reach 323 million mark by 2050. In 2010 approximately 45-50% of the prescriptions were provided to people aged 60 and above and one in three patients took at least 5 drugs or more on a daily basis in United States. In last few decades, geriatric medicines have experienced substantial growth due to which it has now become a prominent part of the American medicines. National Institute on Aging aims to improve health and well-being of older Americans through research and identification of new clinical interventions. In general geriatric medicines market can be segmented in three prominent sub classes' namely therapeutic category, condition, and geography.

A wireless intercom enables wireless transfer of audio signals between a base station and end terminals (handheld headset, belt pack, speaker station) in any application. Wireless intercom has one base station and multiple belts packs or substations. These belt packs communicate with one another through the base station. Wireless intercom provide such as single, dual, and multiple channels for communication through which the belt packs are connected to one another. The report covers wireless intercom systems that have a base station connected with an analog, digital, or IP-based communication medium in order to connect with other intercom systems. Hence, the report only considers the wireless base stations in the segment.

The World Health Organization's (WHO) factsheet on deafness and hearing loss states that over 5% of the world's population suffers from disabling hearing loss. This amounts to 360 million people globally. The U.S. National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders' (NIDCD) studies show that that among every 1000 people aged 65 years and over in the U.S., 314 suffer from hearing impairment. The figure represents the massive market that exists for audiological devices – equipment and systems used by audiologists for studying hearing loss. Audiological devices are also used for the diagnosis and treatment of hearing loss.

Artificial organs are those devices that are integrated or implanted into human body to replace a natural organ to restore its specific function in the body. The medical bionic devices are engineered with a combine study of biology and electronics terminologies. Artificial vital organs and medical bionics are technologically sophisticated devices help in restoration of various functions of organs and increases the life expectancy of the patients. The global artificial vital organs and medical bionics market is experiencing fair growth because of widening gap between the number of patients in the waiting list for organ transplantation and lack of donor organs in the market. As the rate of mortality of such patient pool is increasing, it has resulted in rising scope of evolution and development of artificial organs. Today, artificial organs are used as an efficient bridge-to-transplant and as destination therapy in patients with failed/diseased organs or disabilities.

As more people worldwide suffer from skin disorders, there is a mounting need for skincare products and devices. The market for skincare devices, especially, is expected to evolve rapidly as companies in this space respond to the trend of minimally invasive or non-invasive procedures. The report on the global skincare devices market offers a detailed qualitative and quantitative assessment to enable vendors and companies in the market make more informed decisions.

E-clinical solution is a software that helps researchers with new ways to manage and analyze clinical data. It helps clinical research organizations, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device and research organizations to magnify their clinical research investment by the use of innovative technologies. Globally, the rising availability of computers and internet has helped the clinical trial industry by creating e-clinical technologies. It is used widely in the management of clinical trials due to its effectiveness over paper process. Increasing number of clinical trials and increasing spending on clinical research and development in the pharmaceutical industry are the key growth drivers for the e-clinical solution software market. In addition, increasing clinical trial outsourcing would provide opportunities for new market entrants, which would further drive the growth of the e-clinical solution software market.

Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease wherein the body is either not able to produce insulin (type-1) or is not able to utilize the generated insulin (type-2). This elevated sugar level leads to various symptoms such as increased thirst, weight loss, high appetite, frequent and sweet smelled urination. If untreated, diabetes causes various acute and chronic life-threatening complications. This report studies the current as well as future scenario of the diabetes diagnostic devices and drugs market globally.

A set-top box (STB) is a device that is used to convert the video content transmitted from a pay TV operator to a format compatible with an end-user or subscriber TV. STBs may receive the video content from satellite, terrestrial, cable or Internet-based transmission. STBs offer a greater number of channels compared to conventional broadcasting services and further improve the quality of the video content considerably. The introduction of high definition (HD) channels, digitization of TV broadcasting and demand for higher picture quality are resulting in the growth of STB market. With advancements in technology, STB is increasingly being used to stream digital TV content through the Internet, further enabling a user to surf the Web, stream videos, access various applications, play games, and use allied features, such as OTT services. With advanced coding and compression techniques it has become much easier to decode high-quality videos using comparatively less bandwidth. The introduction of high-efficiency video coding (HEVC) decoders in STBs is expected to boost the demand for the latter in coming years. With the inclusion of further innovations, STBs are being powered by operating systems such as Android and iOS to enhance the user interface and make the TV experience more lively and exciting than before.
